pertain to the new Evinrude E-TECs They also have less emissions, quicker
starts, and less maintenance than equivalent 4-strokes.

On small 4-strokes the carbs gum up quicker due to their smaller jets and
passageways. Also carbureted 4 strokes are sometimes harder to start, and
have to be warmed up foe quite a while before they will idle and accelerate
smoothly, EFI models do not have that drawback. You have to use the fast
idle lever for warm-up and carb 4-strokes engines do not meet the Caliornia
3-star emission rating. Overheating problems on 4-strokes can result in
scored pistons that allow oil burning and a blue smokey exhaust, unless the
engine is expensively rebuilt.

No wonder we don't hear much from Bill Grannis who is probably one of the more
knowledgeable posters to this and other boating newsgroups.

Please try not be so personal in your attacks Karen. Some of us would like to
hear his opinions. And your 10 page attacks on Harry are getting old also.
